Dyin' time's here. COVID has now spread from the large cities into the rural areas of the US where there are no hospital beds. That number of deaths is really gonna skyrocket now, as if it isn't already climbing near vertically.

You cant because the NCL Pride of America is the lone US cruise ship. NCL was exploring reflagging more over winter but this probably puts a bit of a bump in that road.

Navy should have read the CDC report from February as it says something about the virus spread in enclosed spaces.

The parent company is incorporated in the Bahamas, however, and so Norwegian Cruise Lines is not eligible for any break or stimulus. NCL Pride of America could reflag and it wouldn't matter, because Norwegian isn't getting poo poo anyways,

Its funny how the pentagon/combatant commander brass hated Obama for mirco managing them after a near decade of cowboying it up under W.

Yet trump has completely destroyed the Navy's autonomy, especially in regards to morale and maintaining good order and discipline.

Wonder why they havent turned on him yet?

Basically Congress isn't in session right now and money needed to get into the funds to continue paying people who are currently out of work and the small business program to cover small businesses that have no business.

Democrats could have very well sat on this in a staring contest with the GOP beyond the run-out date on funds, but how long would the American people last when the poo poo they're relying on to somewhat make ends meet runs out? I guarantee you the soulless fuckers in the GOP can hold their breath longer than the entirety of the rest of the country in order to cause the government to completely collapse. They're a loving death cult and if they kill the country in order to own the libs they'll consider it a worthwhile sacrifice.

The only Republican in the House who called for Trump's impeachment, and then split from the Republican party/was disinvited from CPAC. Romney's a Senator, and didn't get kicked out of the Republican party because the GOP is afraid of losing votes in Utah or something?

No actual idea who he is, other than someone who will gently caress up the election for a Democratic candidate because he's unlikely to peel off votes from the GOP.

No one in the US is going to go hungry even in the imaginary worst case scenario of all meat production shutting down overnight. There's more than enough excess capacity of calories without any changes, and in the long run there's a huge amount of US farmland dedicated just to feeding animals that can be repurposed.

Declaring meat processing plants critical even as everyone inside is getting sick is being done because the meat processing industry asked for it.

People go hungry right now in the US, many of them children. Don't make sweeping generalizations.

feedingamerica.org posted:

In 2019, most families living in poverty earn less than $25,750 per year. More than 37 million people struggle with hunger in the United States, including more than 11 million children. A household that is food insecure has limited or uncertain access to enough food to support a healthy life.

Deleting meat from the food supply would make that number go up in the short and medium term significantly.

Well yes, but not because of food shortages...

Well removing supply won't fix that issue, if anything it would drive prices of what's available up, and make even more people "food insecure".

Almost universally because their families can't afford the food, not because there aren't enough calories being produced by US agriculture and food processing.

it appears it might help if given early, and doesnt appear to be too deadly

the problem here being vast amounts of this county you still cannot get tested unless the rona is balls deep into you

Basically this, just like any antiviral treatment, the earlier you are taking it the better your results. In the mice trials they administered remdesivir as a prophylactic before exposing the mice to SARS-COV-2. Expectedly, the mice which received remdesivir as a prophylactic had a much milder illness than control mice, and quicker recovery.

This also shows up in the remdesivir trial they enrolled people in, the earlier you get it the better you do, because the virus's reproduction is inhibited by remdesivir, and you don't get as sick.

Antivirals are nasty poo poo though, they can make you quite sick themselves, and some of them are so strong that they're handled as a cytotoxic drug by hospital staff, e.g. ganciclovir, which is a carcinogen and a mutagen. So there's some concern about side effects of administering remdesivir as a widespread treatment for SARS-COV-2, but it's better than hooking people to a vent and praying.

He's a racist game show host with the beliefs of a fox news grandpa. Right now, they're all eating up the theory that the virus was brought back to a Wuhan lab for study, as part of some weird SEE WE CAN ID RARE STUFF TOO and then it broke free of the lab and that's that.

So he hasn't seen a goddamn thing outside of twitter, fox news, and facebook posts.

Pretty much, I see some interesting things in my line of work, and I'm gonna go with he got it off fox news. Won't stop him from being all secret squirrel bullshit because it makes him feel important though,

Quoting myself from years ago, re: China weaponization.

Also, I think I covered it in here before but for the virus to have been an engineered bioweapon would have taken several simultaneous breakthroughs that Western labs have not achieved before.

There's also the real simple realization that places have made re: bioweapons, the problem that you can't control them when you release them, they're doomsday devices.

People who are non vets posting in here keep this poo poo from turning into just like every other vet forum out there (dead and stupid/full of asinine garbage). It also keeps it from turning into a self reinforcing echo chamber like D&D, and helps steer us when we're wrong on something or an outside opinion would offer a valuable view on something that's being discussed.
